Mule Creek Work Pledge By Cooksey
Marion mayor Robert Cooksey pledged further work on Mule Creek after resident complaints about odors. Relief workers will reassign to cut a center ditch to drain water there so treatment with odor-killing chemicals is easier, and drainage improves during dry periods.
